Profile Information
- My Plug:
- I'm the host of an Internet TV/Radio Show called Busy But Healthy. I was looking for a way to inspire busy people to meet their goals, as I know that "being busy" is one of the biggest excuses for not getting in shape and eating healthy. You'll find Q&A's, Recipes and Fitness Tips.
- My BodyPROUD Story
- I’ve been interested in health since a young age as it was instilled in me by my mother. Growing up, I was pretty active. I was involved in various sports, but dancing was my passion, and I did that from the age of 4 to 18. As a young teen I suffered from numerous food sensitivities. I quickly learned how important healthy eating was and how much better I felt if I was eating the right foods.
In Sept 2007, I lost my mom & best friend to colon cancer. It was a HUGE shock to our family as she lived such a healthy life. Through that experience I learned that balance is important, and so is managing stress.
Shortly after my mom passed, my husband and I were happy to announce I was pregnant. After having a baby, and feeling frumpy as most mom's do, entering a competition was that extra motivation to get back into shape. I had never thought about competing, but once I started working with a trainer, who was a figure competititor, she convinced me I would be ready to do a show! So there I was, stepping on stepping on stage only 7 months after my daughter was born. I haven't turned back since! Now I'm in better shape than ever! I LOVED the experience of being on stage, its such a huge feeling of accomplishment!

Like you, I also work out in the morning. I don't go to the gym, though; I use fitness programs created by BeachBody which are created by professional trainers and have the routines all laid out for me so I know exactly what routine to pick to…

So I was at the gym this morning---my usual 6am timeslot. I went to do bootcamp, but there were only a few of us, so we decided to do our own thing instead. I hopped on the elipical to get in a good 40 minutes. Normally, I'm zoned into my ipod, but the battery was dead! Beside me there would two ladies (one I could tell was a newer mom as she talked about going back to work) and the other was a friend of hers. They were 'casually' working out on their elipticals and talking to each other no… Continue

I'm shocked and thrilled to be gracing the cover of the FAME West 2010 poster!!! I bet a lot of people wouldn't believe that in that picture, I had a 7 month old baby at home!! But as I've said---IT CAN BE DONE! I am proof! You can be body proud at any time in your life----and for you women, even shortly after having children!
Just want to thank everyone at FAME for this great honor!
So, I will be 'watching' you at your gym ---so that means, no slacking!!! LOL!

You dont need to do much with your legs, they are great. I suppose every now and then. But think proportion. Some athletes don't and look a mess. YOU DON'T.
